Hex terrain looks better. It’s not even close, got it be honest. The ability to make the map look completely different every time makes it so so much better. I’d say that very wise, the hexagon stackability and height rules beat warcry easily

I appreciate you pointing out that Amazon sometimes puts games on sale for way below retail. However, the retail price for the version of HeroQuest that sold for $100 on the HasLab (the lower tier) is $135. It is currently almost $200 on Amazon (some sellers have it at around $150). I have some additional context to add. The Avalon Hill team has said that a $250+ price tag will not work for retail, so they will be splitting the boxes up in a way similar to what you suggested in the video. However, the aggregate retail price will be quite a bit more than the $250 (w/free shipping to the US) that you pay right now on HasLab.

I just wanted to say that your guesses for the final end product pricing was very very accurate. Good job!

Very excited for the new Heroscape! Great coverage!

Renegade Game Studios is bringing HeroScape back 100% official. March 1 will be a virtual con where they'll show off the first wave and pre-orders open.

The new minis in the Haslab campaign are a lot more detailed than classic Heroscape figures were (which I agree with you; classic figures had very little detail).

What a cool comparison video! Makes me realize I should checkout WarCry someday too... One benefit of the way Heroscape does abilities, that I think you didn't mention, is that tying abilities to individual army cards allows you to come up with a bunch of different synergies between different army compositions.

Thanks for talking some sense about the costs for this Haslab offer. I want them to release new 'Scape, but you're right this price offer is crazy. And the minis aren't even painted!

i've found old copies of heroscape at thrift stores over the year, and this new unpainted one has 0 interest for me, just don't get how they went that route.

17:38, you can put multiple order markers on a single hero anyway, so yor statement starting at 18:20 isn't totally accurate. You can put 1, 2, and 3 on your heavy hitter tank at any and all times.

Heroscape is the greatest game OF ALL TIME!

Have pervious haslab campaigns been released after failing? If so it would kinda ruin the credibility of the whole operation and every haslab to come after it.

I liked the comparion bewegen the games, underworlds would compare interestingly too. Just some comments: Avalon Hill ist not Hasbro, they do not get all the resources they want and need from Hasbro but have ti earn their own Money and compete with other ideas, Projects, subcompanies etc. There are direct comments from the Devs what happens if the HasLab failes. Everything will be put away in a drawer, nothing comes out, no retail. Sure they could lie, but why would they? For the Fomo, Sure, but they would burn themselfes for future HasLab Campaigns. I doubt that. The Devs teasered that there will be Terrain only Packs, single unit Packs and the Like if the stuff Hits retail but combined the HasLab Thing will be better value. I would not mind if its cheaper or not but its probably not wise to wait for retail to get the stuff hoping to safe some bucks.

You are going to upset some of the fanatics with this 😂 it’s refreshing to have a common sense and reasoned response to what Hasbro is doing.

The question here really shouldn't be "is it worth it" but rather "is it worth 250". At least for me, because I personally don't think it is. There's too much over hype, and not enough quality deliverance. Minus the tiles, everything else just feels like a good idea gone in the wrong direction. Honestly here's how I would have done it. 1: Just reprint a tile amount similar to the RoTV master set. Maybe add some superstructure to the bottom of the big terrain so that they don't suffer from bowing... 2: Print up some more unique terrain pieces, like rocks and some trees, to help with cover and block visibility while making the battlefield look good. 3: Print up 20-30 figures maybe 5-7 unique units and the rest grunts. 4: Give us only 2 factions to start... We don't need 5-6-7 just to get interested or start playing with multiple people. 5: Reduce the price by a minimum of half. 250 is a lot to back, especially for unpainted minis, which is definitely a hard sell to anyone who played the original run. Especially because you'll have freaking rainbows dashing around the battlefield at this point. 6: For expansions, maybe focus more on unique terrain, such as pre-sculpted cliffs, and or trees bridges etc. It was the one big problem for the original run, not to have simple stuff to flesh out the battlefield. These are what would really make me excited and be willing to back the project, but I digress. We have what we have currently, and we'll see how it plays out.

The only reason I'm interested in Heroscape is the hex terrain is cool. Warcry doesn't look cool to me. Not going to buy either though, because game play of both game doesn't sound like my cup of tea.

This video is neglecting a lot about Heroscape and why it’s unique in comparison to other games. The customization that you can get by being able to build the maps for heroscape are much more three dimensional and visually stunning. War cry terrain is similar to D&D and so you can alway spend more to get more detail. With heroscape they have options that can be used in several different ways and are not a one time application terrain type. The terrain also has characteristics that change the battle and benefits certain figures more than others or hinders figures who cannot fly or walk on lava etc. Also stating that once you strip away the cards figure then everyone has an attack so it doesn’t matter if they are a robot or ninja. That is not accurate because the heroscape figures have Race, Class, Personality, size and a hit zone that greatly affect game play by interacting with other figures and using the terrain to your advantage. Overall respectfully, I think that comparing the games isn’t practical and that you can’t really say there is a game that is cheaper and very similar when it isn’t even close to how heroscape is played and the unlimited possibilities heroscape provides with map customization. If you would like to see an example of a heroscape customized map you can check out the Mines of Moria map on my channel. As far as hasbro stuff that is interesting and I guess we will see if you are right.

I doubt they are gonna hit the 8000 backers. Its barely at 3000 at the moment.
